Extended Data Fig. 6. Comparison of NEDD8 interactions with CUL5 in cryo-EM structure of neddylated CUL5-RBX2-ARIH2* and crystal of neddylated CUL5-RBX1.

Extended Data Fig. 6

a, Close-up of the noncovalent interface between NEDD8 (yellow) and its linked CUL5 WHB domain (green), from the cryo-EM structure of neddylated CRL5Vif-CBFβ-A3C complex with ARIH2*. Side-chains mediating contacts, and CUL5 H29-, H30-, and H31-helices are indicated. b, Portion of the cryo-EM structure corresponding to NEDD8, CUL5 C-terminal domain (encompassing the 4HB, C/R domain, and WHB domain), and the N-terminal strand of RBX2 contributing to the C/R domain. c, Lattice packing in prior crystal structure of neddylated CUL5 C-terminal domain (CTD)-RBX1 complex12, highlighting CUL5’s H29-helix and WHB domain in dark green, and its linked NEDD8 in yellow. Dotted line indicates the border between the two different neddylated CUL5 CTD-RBX1 complexes in the crystal lattice. NEDD8 and CUL5 interact similarly as in the cryo-EM structure, although contacts between NEDD8 and its linked CUL5 WHB domain are with the C/R domain of the adjacent complex in the crystal.
